Flowers <-- hows that for short and to the point?

I spent about an hour or so on Sunday afternoon planting a few of these beauties, and the rest of the hour I spent taking pictures of the ones that KC and myself had planted earlier. I just have one question, why would I be cursed with a black thumb when I love flowers so much? I hope these survive b/c the one in my office is looking pretty sad. (And its not the first one in my office to give up the ghost...) *SIGH* Maybe I'll print a picture of these and plant it in the pot in the window of my office....LOL.
